the aim of the study was to investigate the effect of aerobic and resisted exercise program on lipid profile and quality of life in overweight breastfeeding women.
Although previous studies reported that exercise training during the postpartum period could improve the lipid profile and quality of life in overweight women and reduce the postpartum fatigue . None of them had investigated the effect of aerobic and resisted exercises on lipid profile and quality of life in overweight breastfeeding women.this trial will include 2 groups: Group (A): was consist of 27 overweight breastfeeding women, who received nutritional recommendation and faradic current stimulation for 20 min on abdominal surface 2 times per week for 12 weeks. Group (B): was consist of 27 overweight breastfeeding women, who received the same nutritional recommendation and faradic current stimulation for 20 min on abdominal surface 2 times per week plus exercise training (aerobic + resisted) for 12 weeks.

proper maternal nutrition and fluid intake during breast-feeding per day for 12 weeks and2 sessions per week, each session 20 minutes, for 12 weeks. Frequency of 65 Hz, and width pulse 300 ms, with contraction time 10 sec and relaxation time 10 sec
Each woman in group (B) participated in a moderate exercise program (aerobic+resistive), 3 days/week, for 12 weeks. The session began with 15 minutes of aerobic exercise on a bicycle ergometer, at 60% of heart rate reserve (HRR), with HRR estimated (220-age-resting heart rate). Then, the participant was performed 15 minutes of resistive exercise (two sets of 8-12 repetitions at 75% of one repetition maximum (1-RM) for basic core exercises in the form of hip lifts, knee extension and flexion, crunches, shoulder flexion and extension, elbow flexion and extension with resistance

measurement of lipid parameter level of High-density lipoprotein (HDL) mg/dL
It was used to measure the lipid profile parameters (High-density lipoprotein (HDL)- level in for each woman in the both groups (A \& B) at pre-treatment and post-treatment.
Time frame: 12 weeks
measurement of Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) mg/dL
It was used to measure the lipid profile parameters Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) level for each woman in the both groups (A \& B) at pre-treatment and post-treatment.
Time frame: 12 weeks
measurement of Triglycerides (TG) mg/dL
t was used to measure the lipid profile parameters Triglycerides (TG) level for each woman in the both groups (A \& B) at pre-treatment and post-treatment.
Time frame: 12 weeks
calculation of score of Short Form 36 Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36) (Arabic version):
It was assessed using the SF-36 (Arabic version) questionnaire in both groups (A \& B) before and after treatment, which consists of 36 questions. Answers were awarded a score in a five-point scale (0-4).Scores for each of the dimensions range from 0 (worst level of functioning) to 4 (best level of functioning)
Time frame: 12 weeks
